• Notes

  The Fahnlanders came from Bavaria, Germany, and settled in Neustad, Ontario. There, Leonard Fahnlander (1816-1899) met and married Augusta Gulde. In 1876 they came to Dakota Territory with their seven children: John (1858-1933), Catherine (1860-1940), Elizabeth (1862- ), Philip (1864-1890), Joseph, Mary, and Frank (1873-1881). They traveled by boat to Duluth, then overland to the Dakota Territory. They settled in Argusville, north of Fargo. Catherine worked in a hotel in nearby Grandin where she met Peter Wild. Leonard died when he was eighty-three years old, having been a pioneer settler in the Red River Valley. Augusta became blind in later life, dying in 1916, aged 86. https://www.wild-roots.org/getperson.php?personID=I138&tree=1 2014
